Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Hi there. I'm back, live from New Hampshire and online at last, thanks to the concerted efforts of my roommate Brian. Let me share just one brief vignette to illustrate how different my life already is here: Thursday morning (at 7am, before I'd even had any caffeine), while smoking my first cigarette of the day, I was tossing pieces of bread to the Canada geese in the river below where I stood. Just a wee bit different from living in a metro area of 1 million-plus; it's so quiet here that when standing on the deck, I can hear the wings of flying geese flapping. Pics to come soon.
